AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Walkways by the Sea


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ View of Dromana pier and Port Phillip Bay, Mornington Peninsula.
Savage sea winds have pushed the tree/shrub in the foreground into an artistic lean.
Yet still it grows strongly.
It has been this way at least for the last 10 years since I have lived here.
